I have no wife living, nor any family living with me. My children, of whom I have several, are all married and have families, and are all poor and unable to afford me support. My own health is not very good, and by reason of defect in my eyesight, by age or otherwise, I can do but little at my trade, which is that of a shoe-maker; and had it not been for my pension for two years past, I must have had relief from the Town wherein I live; as with all I could earn, and the assistance of my pension I could but barely support myself.
